"ALICE!" Nico, her father, yelled when he saw the other members attack Alice.
Tommy hurriedly stood in front of Alice. Using his sword, he blocked their attack. Sounds of metal clashing filled the entire courtyard.
Deflecting their attack, Tommy didn't stop there. He moved forward and struck those who attacked him using the blunt side of his sword. They were all members of the hidden clan, so he couldn't possibly wound them.
"I'm okay!" Alice replied. Her fingers were holding onto several beads. They were all the poisons that she had prepared beforehand. Even though their effects were only sleeping or paralyzing, they were usually enough in the fight because she never needed to fight for long.
"That's good…" Nico relaxed slightly. When he saw that, Ayres charged forward, nearly catching the middle aged man unguarded. The two of them exchanged glances as they moved their weapon and started clashing once again.
"Tommy, help father!" Alice instructed.
